Photobucket

Photobucket is photo hosting site similar to Flickr. Both sites offer Vistaprint type services to enhance the commercialization of their hosting. They offer interesting things to do with your photographs, make a shower curtain, fleece blankets, throw pillows, woven blankets, metal prints, framed prints and the like. Presently they are offering 75% off canvas wrapped (around a frame) by entering their coupon code.

That is a significant savings. 

Joe drove all over back and forth over two passes, and not just regular passes, continental divide passes, and apparently he didn't mind stopping whenever I asked and for the slightest provocation, say, an interesting pattern of trees or melting snow or whatever. Back home a friend emailed, one of his actual traveling companion who takes more serious trips together and he told Joe has not stopped talking about this road trip. To the point of being a bit annoying as they have their own real trips to plan.

16X24 is not so terribly small. This is printed on canvas, like a painting, framed, with the edges wrapped around with the edges of the photo. We'll have to see how well they handle that. 

There is a photo I like for myself. So I bought one. I have no immediate use for it. I just like it. So now this will look like a 16X24 painting on canvas. 


I don't know why I like the trees so much. The atmosphere they create is inviting. 

The next two are sent directly to Paradise Valley. I have no idea if Joe will even use these. He might consider them a pain in the butt. Other photos represented the trip better but the unusual thing is how much rain there was. This field shows that. The thumbnails don't do it justice, the two tones of grass patches this thick is a bit unusual. 




They were supposed to be $137.00 each. Not so bad. 

The discount is $103.00

Shipping is kept lowest and slowest, fast enough for me.

The cost is $42.25 each. 

Total $126.75

That is an irresistible deal. Imagine it, your photos treated respectfully.
